Striking family home and extensive gardens

Description

Whinfield is a stunning home dating back to the 1900’s, offering a superb combination of character and lateral space in a wonderful setting. The house was designed by the late Walter Brierley, known for his splendid architectural designs in Yorkshire.

This wonderful house has been carefully and lovingly restored and extended by the current owners, transforming the property into one very special home.

The extensive accommodation on offer is particularly adaptable and creates a real sense of spaciousness and has been designed to make the most of the views of the wonderful mature gardens.

The ground floor flows well and gives a perfect balance, combining family and more formal areas, with the beautifully proportioned sitting room and equally impressive more formal dining room.

The amazing swimming pool has views overlooking the gardens that makes for a very tranquil and peaceful setting and there is also a cinema room and gym- perfect for family time.

The heart of the house is the superb open plan kitchen, which is very well equipped and functional and leads to the family room that has doors leading onto the terrace area, carefully designed for family and modern day living in mind and a perfect space for entertaining. There is also a very useful utility room and boot room.

The first floor is equally impressive and you are truly spoilt with the bedrooms on offer. The principal suite has dressing areas, a luxury en suite and is of generous proportions. The guest suite is equally impressive with dressing room, en suite and doors on to the roof terrace. There are three further good sized bedroom, two en suite and two house bathroom. There is also a games room and study which would make an ideal area for children or guest/family staying.

The grounds of Whinfield, which can be enjoyed from every room in the house, surround the property creating a vast degree of privacy with mature bedded borders and have been designed with several wonderful areas to relax and entertain.
